Running From the Past

" Running From the Past "

I just wish that I could forget the past,
horror of it all seemed it would always last,
Doesn't matter how I try to put it behind me,
The awful memories will never let me be free.

I know I'll never forget, so this makes me sigh,
I keep having nightmares that makes me cry,
No one can hear me because I cry silently,
Shaking and sobbing with terrible fear so violently.

A little girl you think, you can trust Mom and Dad,
But in my case I cannot, this makes me so sad.
Daddy took away my life, all of my childhood,
Momma didn't see the way I thought she should.

It wasn't just me that he hurt, don't you see?
One day we got our chance to pack up and flee.
We ran from him through three different states,
Each time he found us, it seemed to be fate.

The last time we ran, we left him far behind,
We ran to Florida into the bright sunshine,
We lost him for good when I was age nine,
I thought to myself, now...I'll be just fine.

" Healing in Florida waters and sunshine. "
